Sustainable Industrial Systems Group

Sustainable Industrial Systems is a research group at The University of Manchester led by Professor Adisa Azapagic.

The main aim of our research is to help identify sustainable solutions for industrial systems on a life cycle basis, taking into account economic, environmental and social aspects. We work across different sectors and supply chains including chemicals, construction, food & drink, energy and transport. In addition to industrial organisations, we collaborate with government, NGO and other organisations.

We specialise in the following areas:

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Carbon Footprinting

Sustainable Production and Consumption

Sustainability Assessment

Sustainable Technologies

Sustainable Cities

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA)

The group is funded by UK Research Councils, the European Commission and industry.
